I showed that article to a friend who lives down in Brazil. He said that a preacher spouting this sort of crap would end up lynched in a riot down there. Keep in mind that Brazil, as a whole, is even more religious than the U.S.
If he were a Muslim cleric, I could see the exact same reaction up here. As is, the fact that he's a fundamentalist Christian will probably just mean he cries discrimination when people call him on his shit.
